“Dodik is a Croatian player; he is the best and most successful project of the Croatian intelligence service. He has destroyed the Republika Srpska (RS) to the brink of survival,” said the leader of the For Justice and Order, Nebojsa Vukanovic, in an interview yesterday.
As an argument for this claim, Vukanovic pointed out that Dodik’s advisor is a candidate for the Croatian presidency. He also added in an interview that the SNSD leader is “fighting for a third entity” because he has repeatedly stated that Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) deserve “their own entity.”
Interview question: “Let’s start with the trial. Dodik appeared at the hearing. Although he requested a postponement, it was not granted. How will this process end? What will the outcome be?”
“This is one of many farces that helped Dodik improve his ratings and divert attention from issues in the RS, from anarchy in public enterprises to the collapse of the financial sector. To avoid talking about these topics, this situation suits him, allowing him to play the victim of global politics and Western power. He has committed so many crimes and thefts over the past 20 years. Investigations into his criminal activities were halted after agreements with foreigners, and I believe something similar will happen now – he will give up lithium or something else. He no longer mentions secession; he is no longer the same “Serb” as before,” Vukanovic said.
Interview question: “Dodik claims he never spoke of secession?”
“A man who has been in power for 15 years with the message of a referendum and “goodbye BiH,” now suddenly claims he was never for secession. The problem is not just his arrogance and brazenness but also the people themselves. He has infiltrated one family after another through capillary corruption. The people get crumbs while his millionaires live like Hollywood stars,” he stated.
Interview question: “Tomorrow, Borjana Kristo goes to Brussels empty-handed, even though some Reform Plan has been sent. There is still no agreement on key points that the European Union (EU) demands to release the first tranche of aid to BiH. Will we again make some concessions?”
“Brussels is one of the biggest problems. Their policy feeds local corrupt politicians. They turn a blind eye to electoral fraud, murders, crime… They meet with these politicians and give them legitimacy. I would remind you of what Wigemark or Sattler said – they served in some way to cover up the anarchy here. They have fed and maintained this mafia, crooked system. Brussels needs a BiH like this to turn us into some sanitary corridor and keep us at odds. What do our politicians do? They give concessions and privatize our natural resources for the sake of the EU’s powerful interests,” Vukanovic emphasized.
Interview question: “Dodik also attacked Kristo. Is this now a clash between HDZ and SNSD?”
“This is just some pre-election tension; maybe he was nervous because of the court process. Dodik will never say anything against Covic. His advisor is a candidate for the Croatian presidency. He is a Croatian player, fighting for the third entity. Dodik is the best and most successful project of the Croatian intelligence service, and hats off to them. He has destroyed the RS to the brink of survival,” he stated
Interview question: “Blockades as a model of the behavior of authorities in BiH. The latest is being announced by Nenad Nesic, the state minister of security, all because of the appointment of Slobodan Radinkovic as the director of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA). Is this just another political clash?”
“Those who make deals with the devil get punished in the end. The biggest danger is the merging of the mafia and the judiciary. A journalist from Doboj wrote about the appointment of Radinkovic, and the day after that article, his house was set on fire. His books were taken, and a fire was set. Nenad Nesic did not visit him or demand a quick intervention. Neither did the RS minister of police. That journalist said Obren Petrovic was responsible for this. He rules over Doboj. And he has never been held accountable for anything, not even alleged war crimes,” he said.
Interview question: “Who is Dodik’s successor and the new favorite of the international community in the RS?”
“Dodik has projected his son Igor as his successor and has already brought him in through the front door. Igor is beheading people and has strained relationships with others. If, after everything they have seen – the fact that they are the poorest in all of Europe – people still accept this corrupt government for a pittance, then only God can help us. Such people are not victims but accomplices in corruption. Of course, the international community has its favorites. There is speculation that if Dodik is convicted, he will offer all parties a government of national unity, but we tell him that we will never be in power with them,” Vukanovic concluded, N1 writes.
